 FOREWORD 
 
 To the visitors to tlic City of Phittsburgh, to visit- 
 ing- Leg-ionairres, to the citizens of this city and to all 
 those ^vho aided in making- this ech'hi-ati<ni and prograin 
 a success, Greetings; 
 
 In planning- this cci('l)ratinn i'lattslnirgh Post Xo. 
 20 had two ideas in mind; 
 
 First; To properly observe this, our most import- 
 ant of partiotic liolidays. 
 
 Second; To raise funds towards tlie erection of a 
 suitable memorial building in honor of those who paid 
 the supreme sacrifice. 
 
 The aims of the Legion are best summed up in the 
 peramble to the Legion constitution, which reads; 
 
 "For God and country we associate oui\selves to- 
 gether for the following- purposes ; 
 
 'To uphold and defend the Constitution of the 
 United States of America; 
 
 "To maintain law and order; 
 
 "To foster and per})atuate a 100 per cent Ameri- 
 canism ; 
 
 "To preserve the memories and incidents of our 
 association in the great war; 
 
 "To inculcate a sense of individual obligation to 
 the comnraiuty, state and nation; 
 
 "To combat the autocracy of both the classes and 
 the masses; 
 
 "To make right the master of might; 
 
 "To promote ])eace and good-Avill on earth; 
 
 "To safeguard and transmit to posterity the prin- 
 ciples of justice, freedom and democracy; 
 
 "To consecrate and sanctity our comradeship by 
 our devotion to mutual helijfullness." 
 
 THESE ARE OUR DOCTRINES—

 An Appreciation and a Request 
 
 The Plattsbuig Post of the Ameilcan Legion fully 
 realizes that, single-handed, it could not have under- 
 taken this 4th of July Celebration and the issuance of 
 a program of this character. 
 
 It IS the co-operation of the Business and Profes- 
 sional men of Plattsburg that has enabled the Post to 
 accomplish its task. It is the spirit which the mer- 
 chants and professional men have shown in advertis- 
 ing freely in this program that lent encouragement to 
 the committee and spurred them on to greater efforts. 
 
 Therefore, on behalf of the Business and Profes- 
 sional men who have so loyally supported us in this 
 enterprise, we request not only the visitors, but all 
 Legionnaires and citizens of Plattsburg to patronize 
 those who have done so much to make this celebration 
 a success and this program possible.

 My Dear Mr. Eastland: 
 
 The invitation which has just come to me, to join 
 with Plattsburgh Post and others in the Fourth of July 
 celebration at Plattsburgh, has aroused a most sincere wish 
 that I might be able to accept. Unfortunately, it is out 
 of the question, because of other engagements and the 
 pressure of public business. 
 
 It would be particularly inspiring and gratifying 
 to be able to come to Plattsburgh, because of its associa- 
 tion with the splendid preliminary work of training officers 
 for the World War. Plattsburgh and its camps will always 
 be ranked among the real inspirations to the splendid 
 participation of our country in the great struggle. 
 
 I wish you would convey the expression of my high 
 regard and best wishes to the members of your Post and to 
 all who will participate in your particularly interesting 
 celebration. 
 
 Most sincerely yours. 
 
 Mr. Fred G. Eastland 
 Commander, The American Legion

 .My dear .Mr. Ka.-^lland : 
 
 .\iis\V('riiit;' Vdui- letter of llie ■_'.'litl instant, I rc.^iret. as I liave 
 alreaily tuM yon, my inaltility to he present with the IMattshuriih I'osl 
 American l.euidii on tlie 4t!i nf .Inly. I'ai'ticularly il:i I i-ei;ret this 
 because I am thereby denieil the oppdrtunity td meet the men of 
 Plattsl>ur.n'h and \-icinit\' wiio serx'ed in the '_'7th Division (hiriiiii' tlie 
 World War. 
 
 I am very .dad to know that the IMattsbui-,-!! I'ost plans at the 
 coming- celebration to reawaken the ohl patriotic sjiirit of the national 
 holiday. The liasis of pati-iotism is the spirit of self-sacrifice. It 
 is this spirit which made possible our victories in war and the great 
 development of the country during the periods of peace. \\'e all de- 
 ])lore www Particularly do those who i)ai-ticipated in war and who 
 know (d' its waste and brutality di-ead its conse(|uences and look t'oi-- 
 ward til the time when some otlu'r agenny shall deteimine the settle- 
 ment of international disputes. 
 
 If this cause, which means so much to the present and to fiUure 
 generations, is to be advanced, progre-^s can only be looked for as a 
 result of insistent public sentiment. Such an occasion as you plan is 
 peculiai'ly appropriate for the developmeid of such sentiment. On 
 occasions (d' such charactei-. wlien the best people of the community 
 meet and discuss matters of c:)nmion interest and celebrate the deeds 
 and sacrifices of those who re]ire<ented them in the service of the 
 country, something more is desii-ed than an oration eulogizing the 
 valor of our people in war. Most peoples have shown valor in war. 
 There have been wars largely brought about for the pur]K)se of deter- 
 mining which of two nations possessed the greater valoi'. It is the 
 wholesale killing, whieh is a part of war, that the fathers and mothers 
 of the world would avoid in the future. Vonr celebration will there- 
 fore have particular value if those who attend can be ins]iired with 
 the uselessness of war and imbued with a determination intcdligently 
 to perform theii- jiarts in crystallizing sentiment against war and for 
 the develo]nnent of an effective agency more Christian-like in its opera- 
 tion, to replace it. 
 
 This is the thought i have in connection with your celebration. 
 None will understand better what 1 mean than the men of battle who 
 took i)art in the World War, and I think they can be relied upon to 
 develoji and give adecpiate expression to the sentiments herein pro- 
 ]iosed. 
 
 Please convey my best wishes to my comi'ades of the American 
 Legion. 
 
 W'xx sincerely yours.

 I.ATH XATIOXAI, COMMAXDIvK OF THE AMKRICAX I.KCIoX 
 
 While engaged in Legion business and hurrying to catch a train at 
 
 Indianapolis, Ind., the National Commander of the American 
 
 Legion was killed in an automobile accident on June 9th 1921. 
 
 B I ( )(i HA PH I ( 'A L S KETCH 
 
 Not many men in the American Legion can 
 boast of having- been both a soldier and a sailor 
 but both of those careers, professions, occupa- 
 tions or what yon will, are written in the 
 record of F. "\V. Galbraitli, Jr., of Cincinnati' 
 Ohio. It was not, however, as a gol) that Mr. 
 (lalbraith adventuied on the deep lint as an 
 apprentice cock.swain, third mate, and linalh 
 second mate abroad Anu'rican sailing ships 
 after his graduation from the Nautical Train- 
 ing School, Boston, Mass., in tlie class of 189.3. 
 More than a score of years later when tlie 
 AVorld War came Mr. Galbraitli went into it 
 from the land angle and as colonel of tlic 147th 
 Infantry won the Distinguislied Service Cross, 
 the Croix de Guerre and the Cioix de Guerre 
 with palm for heroism in tlie Arcusc-Aigonne 
 
 otfensive in wliicli he was wounded. He took 
 l)art also in the St. Mihiel Drive and served in 
 the Baccarat and Ypres-Lys sectors. 
 
 At the first state convention of the American 
 Legion held in Oliio Mr. Galbraitli was unani- 
 mously elected department commander. When 
 his successor was elected at the last convention 
 the title of past department commander was 
 conferred upon Mr. Galliraitli and it was pro- 
 vided that he should be a delegate to all future 
 conventions of the American Legion of Ohio. 
 During the last year Mr. Galbraitli, in addi- 
 tion to his duties as department commander, 
 also served as a member of the national execu- 
 tive committee from Oliio and as a member of 
 llie iniblication committee of the American Le.- 
 gion Weeklv.

 It was in February of li'li' that the idea of

 izen-soldiers together to discuss a veterans' 
 organization. Twenty iiumi attended a dinner 
 given by Roosevelt. This was February 16. 
 F)l!). 
 
 These twenty men realized they had no 
 authority to do more than start the ball rolling. 
 They issued an invitation to representatives of 
 every overseas organization to meet again in 
 Paris, March 15-17, 1919. Nearly 1,000 dele- 
 gates, half enlisted men and half officers, at- 
 tended this preliminary caucus. 
 
 ROBERT H. TVNDALL National Treasurer 
 
 A caucus was held in St. Louis, May 8, 9, 
 and 10, 1919, at which troops in tliis country 
 
 and in the navy were represented. 
 
 There it was that the nation first had its 
 glimpse of the new organization that was be- 
 ing formed of its fighting sons. The delegates 
 came from every state. Again, as in Paris*, 
 half of them were former enlisted men. The 
 utmost earnestness prevailed. Knthusiasm 
 ran high and out of the national confusion 
 incident to the formation of such a l)ody, or- 
 derly action quickly ensued.

 to hold Armistice Day ceremonies under Le-

 ject by Mennonites in Mississippi was con- 
 demned, because they are German-speaking 
 conscientious objectors. Other resolutions 
 adopted urged that disabled ex-service men

 air service be made a separate and distinct 
 branch of the government, and that disabled 
 ex-service men unable to retui'n to their home- 
 stead lands l)e given a patent to those lands. 
 
 In addition to such meetings of national 
 cliaractei there have been frequent depart- 
 mental gatherings and conventions of adminis- 
 trative officers. District conclaves, at which 
 Legion officers have conferred with represent- 
 atives of goveriunent bureaus, have been fre- 
 (juent and have gone far to ]iromote the inter- 
 ests of the war's disabled. 
 
 Aims 
 The aims of the American l^egion are based 
 on its preamble. Not all of these aims have 
 been accomplished. A great many have. The 
 percentage of accomplishment is high, especial- 
 ly when it is realized that insidious, selfish and 
 powerful forces have done tlieir utmost to 
 block its program. 
 
 ELiGiBiLrrv 
 All persons, women as well as men, who were 
 in the army, navy or marine corps of the 
 Tnited States between April 6, 1917, and Nov- 
 ember 11, 1918, are eligible for membership in 
 the American Legion, except those persons 
 wlio separated from the service under terms 
 amounting to dishonorable discharge and ex- 
 
 cept also tliose persons who refused to perform 
 their military duties on the gi'ounds of con- 
 scientious objection. 
 
 There is no place in the Legion for slackers^ 
 or so-called conscientious objectors. 
 
 Accomplish mknts 
 Rc-Employinctit of Veterans. 
 Under the leadership of Arthur Woods, act- 
 ing as an assistant secretaiy of war, The Am- 
 erican Legion was the largest factor in secui 
 ing emplojTiient for returned fighters. As a 
 result this country solved its after-war em- 
 ployment problem quicker and more satisfac- 
 torily than any other nation. This was the 
 first job for the Legion — getting the soldiers, 
 sailors and marines back into civilian pursuits 
 — and it put it over successfully. 
 
 In addition to the national employment 
 liureau, state and conmiunity bureaus were 
 established, in many cases Legion officials 
 worked in conjunction with officers of estab- 
 lished agencies, such as the Ked Cross, Knights 
 of Columbus and the Y. M. C. A. Thous- 
 ands of men were not only hleped to get 
 "jobs" but were placed in better positions 
 than they had held before joining the service. 
 The influence of Legion men in high position 
 worked to the advaneage of humbler brothers, 
 illustiating the Legion principle of "mutual 
 iielpfnlness. " Many men received preliminary 
 training that lielped them to better positions. 
 
 Legislative Committee 
 The Legion keei:)s a legislative committee at 
 Washington to devote all its time to looking 
 after the interests of ex-service men and wo- 
 men. Among the beneficial laws the legisla- 
 tive committee helped put through Congress 
 are: 
 
 Sweet bill made law, raising monthly allow- 
 ance of disabled soldiers in training from $30 
 to $80, and making increase of .$90.()()().0(H) in 
 appropriation for disabled men. 
 
 $125,000,000 voted to Bureau of War Risk 
 Insurance for death and disability claims. 
 
 $90,000,000 voted to the Federal Board for 
 V^ocational Education. 
 
 $21,5-^9,000 voted for care of A. E. F. dead 
 in keeping with policy recommended by the 
 first Legion convention.

 At a Caueus held in I'aris. just one montii 
 lV(nu the initial meeting, the temiiorary or- 
 ganization was eonii)k'ted, an Exectitive Com- 
 mittee was appointed, and the s'l-eat i)ro.ject 
 was launched. The prohlem of transi)lantin.n- 
 the American Le.^ion, as tlie new or.i-anization 
 was called, to the States, and in jiarlicnlar to 
 New York State, was the next matter to he 
 considered. 
 
 The Le.si'ion si)i-ead thron.yhinit tlie Army in 
 Kuiope and the idea herame tirndy fixed in the 
 minds of otilicers and men, that the new organi- 
 zation was to become a i-reat force. Xew York 
 men all over France, cannht the insjiii-ation of 
 the Legion, and a nndens ,)f men was made 
 there. Organization was delayed until the 
 armv was demoliilized. 
 
 Early in April 1!'1!». a temporary State Com- 
 mittee was apiiointed for the Empire State, the 
 cluurman of which was .Major (ieneral -lohn F. 
 O'Ryan, and the Secretary, Major Cornelius 
 AV. Wickersham. These men, with a connnitteo 
 (if twenty-one, divided the state into live dis- 
 tricts and a]ii)ointed a district connnittee with 
 a temporary chairman, to begin the work ;il 
 organizing each district into posts. The chair-

 As the "tile" hat and hoop skirt 
 ./jl have been discarded for later 
 styles, so should the modern thin

 HISTORY OF PLATTSBURGH POST No. 20 
 
 The first step towards oriiaiiiziuH' the Am- 
 erican Legion in this City was taken in May 
 1919 when 28 former service men met in the 
 City Hall to discuss the (jnestion of forniiii.a: 
 a Post in Plattsburgh. These yonng- men sign- 
 ed the application for a chartei- and elected an 
 Executive Connnittee composed of Roliert C. 
 Booth, Herbert Mason, (ieo. I). Soutliwick, 
 John F. Long and Jolm AY. Gnihord, api)oint- 
 ed a memberslii]) committee and an em]iloy- 
 ment committee and tlicn ndjoiinied until June 
 5th. 
 
 At tlie meeting ln'id in .June tliere was a 
 larger representation, new members were se- 
 cured, tlie Post was named Plattsburgh Post 
 No. 20 and Robert C. Booth was elected first 
 Commander of the I'ost. 
 
 The work of organization was a hard one. 
 Ex-service men had the impression that The 
 American Legion was a military instead of a 
 civilian organization, but in September 1919 
 a big get-together meeting was held to wliicli 
 all former soldiers, sailors and marines were 
 invited and 66 new members were gained in 
 one evening. From that time on the Post grew 
 until it now lias a membership of nearly 300. 
 
 In Februaiy 1920 the Post held Memorial 
 P^xercises in the Plattsburgh Theatre in honor 
 of those who paid tlie su])reme sacrifice. At 
 this service P^rench Memorial Certificates were 
 presented to the next of kin of those who died. 
 Col. Ransom II. Cillett, a |)rominent I^egion- 
 aire and member of the N. ^'. State Legislature 
 was secured as speaker. 
 
 On Memorial Day 1920 the Plattsburgh 
 Lodge F. and A. M. presented to the local Le- 
 gion a beautiful silk United States Flag. The 
 presentation speech was made by the Rev. Al- 
 liert Gale an dthe tiag was accepted by Com- 
 mander Robert C. Booth for the Post. Fol- 
 lowing tlie ])resentation the members accom- 
 jianieil the (1. A. R. and Spanhsh War Veterans 
 and visited the various cemeteries and honor- 
 ed their former comrades. 
 
 Other mattei-s taken up by the Post during 
 its first year were; 
 
 Commanding i-espect for the colors. Indors- 
 ing Universal Military Training and also the 
 Adjusted Com])ensation Bill which was being 
 inished through the Congress by the Legion's 
 National Lecislative Committee.

 zens to vote in favor of tlic lioiius. The result 
 of the election showed tlieii' acti\-ity as the 
 proposition was canied hy three to one. 
 
 When the aiiplications for Victory Mechils 
 were ready for distribution a coniniittee com- 
 prised of memljers of the Post ol)taiiied a 
 large supply and ineetinii- at re-uhir intervals 
 assisted a very la rue iiuinher of ex-servici' 
 men in obtaining' their ine(lals. Xo preference 
 was shown inembers of the Pe,i;ion. non-nieni- 
 bers being lielped as willingly as members. In 
 January of 1!>-J1 an open meeting (.f the I'ost 
 was heid in the City Hall at which time the 
 Victory Meilals were presented to over one 
 hundred ex-service men Ity Major .Musgrave.

 ber of ladies met in the City Hall, decided to 
 organize a unit and elected ?klrs. :\Iyroii J. Cor-

 Dui-ing the winter of ]i)2()-ll)i21 a basketball 
 team was formed and backed by the Legion. 
 Tliis team turned out to he one of the strong- 
 est ill Northern New York. It defeated near- 
 ly every visiting team. Financially the basket- 
 liall team Avas a heavy loss but the P;)st was 
 determined to carry through the i)rograni it 
 had mapiied out. The l)asketliall season ."iided 
 with a dance and dinner to the team. 
 
 One of the tasks of the Legion in this City 
 has been the charge of the funerals of com- 
 rades returned from overseas. During tfie 
 past eight months no less tlian nine bodies 
 liave been buried here in Plattslnirgh. seven of 
 them coining from France and Flanders. 
 
 One of the most important plans of the Le- 
 gion for the coming year is the plan of i)rocur- 
 ing their own home. Other towns mneh small- 
 er than Plattsburgh have already erected Mem- 
 orials in honor of those who i)aid the supreme 
 sacrifice and a large majority of tliese memor- 
 ials have been in the form of a Legion hernia 
 or Community Hall. Sonietliing definite along 
 tliis line will be started by the Plattsl)iir-h 
 Post during the coming year. 
 
 Plattsburgh may well be prond of its Legion 
 Post. It was tlie L'Utli formed in this State and 
 is the strmigest and most active Post in Nor- 
 thern New York.

 ^ HALL 
 
 The Douglil)oy if^ a fearful thing, 
 
 A beerful thing a jeerful tiling; 
 ills uiiifonii is s|)()tty ami iiis trouscM'-scat is out. 
 
 lli.s talk is loud and most profane, 
 
 He's hapjiiest when raising Cain; 
 He's not a itailor animal to grace a pinlc-tea bout — 
 
 BUT 
 
 The Doughboy does the lieavy work. 
 
 He's seldom known to ipiit or shirk 
 His business — wliich is scrapping — when tlie Prepara- 
 tion lifts ; 
 
 And when Death walks upon the air 
 
 He often finds tiie Doughboy there 
 Distributing with lavish hand his leaden gifts. 
 
 The bold (lyreiie's a encky thing, 
 
 A stocky thing, a r:icky thing; 
 He struts a bit, and sports his Ball and Anchor with an 
 air 
 
 \\'e love the neat Artillery, 
 
 The Medic in his ])illery. 
 And e'en the bellicose M. P.'s a lovely thing and fair — 
 
 BTT 
 
 The Doughboy is the Nation's Pride, 
 
 The bully boy wlio fought and tlied; 
 He's not a thing of beauty, but he's wliat the Army's for 
 
 So quaff a can of foaming pop 
 
 To him it took a lot to stop. 
 The rani] ling, tramping Infantry that won the bloody 
 war!
